I watched a movie recently 'My Week with Marilyn'.
I fell in love with Marilyn Monroe the first time I saw her in 'Bus Stop' years ago. I realized this week what it is that makes her so attractive.
It's her vulnerability.
I think it takes a lot of character to put your vulnerability out there for others to see. But what it does is it allows others to see that you're like them, to empathize.
I also think it takes a lot of character to put your strengths out there for others to see. Because it allows others to test them.
I think the ideal outward face of a person would portray some vulnerability, and some strengths. It would engage other people's respect at seeing your strengths, and their fellow feeling with their own (perhaps hidden) vulnerabilities.
